Setting the 2020 agenda With a new government elected, and the promise that Brexit will be done by the end of this month, the industry has been busy getting its messages across to Boris. Dedicated to developing a pathway for off-grid heating, UKIFDA, which continues to lobby government to ensure biofuels are part of the decarbonisation landscape, has emphasised that rural communities and, in particular, the forgotten rural fuel poor, must not be put at a disadvantage. With ‘heating and hot water being one of the hardest to tackle’, a realistic timeline is essential says Worcester Bosch. Mindful of the Conservatives’ manifesto, which specifically mentioned boilers, the boiler manufacturer is looking forward to the delivery of the £6.3 billion promised for environmental upgrades to homes by way of grants to improve both boilers and insulation. Also ‘looking forward to working closely and constructively with government,’ the Tank Storage Association has called on government to work in partnership with the bulk liquid storage sector. “Getting the next steps right will be crucial to ensure that our sector thrives into the future,” said Peter Davidson, TSA executive director. (See page 23) Among the ‘pressing needs’ highlighted by the Freight Transport Association are final confirmation of the arrangements for imports/exports between the UK and Europe, agreeing details for the Northern Ireland border, including the potential for checks and where and how these are to be made, and the employment of EU nationals. Looking for government to be ‘far more ambitious and to commit to wholesale systems change across energy’, the Renewable Energy Association wants government to ‘unleash the full potential of renewable energy and clean technology’. Whatever your own agenda may be in 2020, Fuel Oil News sends very best wishes for a prosperous year.
